SIMPLY MEANS HOW MANY 400MG TABS OF ETODOLAC WILL BE NEEDED TO MAKE 360mls(12 ounces) OF A SOLUTION CONTAINING 18GRAMS OF ETODOLAC IN 100MLS OF THE SOLVENT(18%)
ANS;
convert oz to mls
Ioz=30mls
12ounces=360
if 100mls of the solution contains 18g of etodolac
360mls will have=64.8g of etodolac

convert gram to miligram since etodolac is in mg

64.8g 0f etodolac is the same as 64800mg
1 tablet of drug contains 400mg of etodolac
? tablets of drugs will contain 64800mg=64800mg/400mg
ans is 162 tabs

It's like this:
you have 18g in 100 ml , you need to know how much g u have in 12 oz (12x30ml=360ml)
18:100=X:360
X=64.8g ( 64800mg)

One tbl is 400mg so you need to know how much tbl you need, simply divide them 64800mg/400mg=162 tbl

162tbl is your answer!
